      Armed Robbery Suspect Killed by Armed Customer.

      I used to live in Texas. It is State Law that when you kill someone in self defense the case goes to a Grand Jury, which nearly all the time clears one of any charges.

      WTS: 57 .223 Rounds

      Chef K has first dibs on the ammo--he bought the other 300 rounds a few weeks ago. But if doesn't pick up the ammo by Friday then I can sell it to you. Yes, $30 for all the rounds. I'll be available only until about 10 am Saturday, and on Sunday not until about 7 pm. I live near I-12...

      Trouble seeing bullseye at Gonzales in morning sun

      3gun is out of the question for me, as I get out of breath just walking normally..I try to hide that fact...is hard to accept for someone who was a dedicated runner for decades and I'm only 58! Will check into the other 2 competitions you mentioned if modern medicine isn't able to get my...

      Trouble seeing bullseye at Gonzales in morning sun

      This week I shot at 100 yards, good light conditions, and was still having trouble seeing the black. I tried an enlarged aperture (0.062 inch) as well as my original (.042), and the small one did slightly better in the good conditions. As at Gonzales, I was "sucking air" sometimes, trying...

      Trouble seeing bullseye at Gonzales in morning sun

      My cheap Barska spotting scope has the same kind of sunshade, and it was extended. I was wearing a regular baseball cap and tried to shield myself and the rear aperture. I did put "wings" on the side of my shooting glasses. My rifle has small, unhooded NM rear apertures--I bet you are...

      Trouble seeing bullseye at Gonzales in morning sun

      There were only 5 of us on the line at Gonzales Sunday morning for the practice high power match at 200 yards. Turned out to be very frustrating for George and for me--neither of us could see the bullseye decent enough to get an acceptable sight picture! The rising sun was backlighting the...

      Is it OK for sling to stay on arm in hi-power?

      Turner sling arrived yesterday. Had to treat it with Mink Oil to loosen up and lube the fresh leather. Very high quality product. Reviewed pics online showing how to use the sling and then practiced. Not as quick and easy as my old setup, but at least it is legal and easy enough!
